RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc, the global distributor for engineers, has launched a new, more advanced model of its RS brand IdeaWerk 3D printer. The RS IdeaWerk Pro, which only costs R11 399, is capable of handling multiple types of filaments, including Flexible, PLA, ABS, PA/NYLON, PC, HIPS and PVA.
The RS IdeaWerk Pro has many features in common with the RS IdeaWerk FDM 3D printer, which is already selling at a reduced price of R9 147.84. These features include: build volume of 150 x 150 x 140mm; minimum layer resolution of 0.18mm; and maximum print speed of 30mm3 per hour, which makes it one of the fastest 3D printers in its class.
